Black screen
by cyborgsmurf on Wednesday September 7th 2011, 15:54
Installed and used a no-cd patch/crack (game.dat ver 1.1 (ver 1.4 didnt work for me)) and the installation worked 100%. Game starts but with a black screen. Mouse appears with the right mouse-theme for the game and I can hear sounds when I supposedly hover over buttons. I did this with latest wine (2011-09-07). Any suggestions?

Patch problems
by Nick Cuthbertson on Thursday September 10th 2009, 12:49
When I build wine it works fine for a while but eventually it says "error: too many arguments to function 'get_cursor_handle16'".
I am currently unable to play any windows games, although I was able to before I installed 1.1.8. Please advise.

Run BFME 2 without white characters

Falling back to wine version 0.9.48 is not necessary at all. Go only back to wine version 0.9.56 and you don't have any trouble with the mouse cursor.
To avoid white characters in the game set the parameter "UseGLSL" in the wine registry to value "disabled". So the game runs not so fast as with parameter set to "enabled" but you can play the game.
